Newtown 911 calls are emotional, but reveal little new information

Some of the 911 recordings from the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown were released today. WSHU has decided not to air the recordings, which add little new information about what happened that morning. But WSHU’s Craig LeMoult reports on what’s in the emotional recordings.
